fix(bug): Surviving escorts after FWC Pug 1 attack the Pug in subsequent missions

[ziproot]

Bug fix

This PR addresses the bug described in issue #8832

Summary

When your job is to attack the Pug and steal a jump drive, your escorts just sit there and do nothing. This continues when you re-enter pug space later until you try to retake Oblivion. This PR creates a new government for the escorts. It is attacked by the Pug at first and then the Pug become peaceful. However, when you depart to steal a jump drive, the escorts help you.

Screenshots

Testing Done

Made sure the escorts attacked during the escape mission and onward, and during the pug attack at first, but not in between.

Is there a reason we can't use the Escort government as mentioned in #8832 instead of creating a new one?

The ships aren't your escorts (you can't give them commands). If you get something that changes your swizzle those ships will have changed swizzles as well. If you have negative reputation with the Free Worlds the ships won't attack you, which is inconsistent with other escorts in the game.

1. Many non-controllable escorts already use the Escort government, such as the prisoner transport Blackbirds in "FW Southern Prisoners - Release".
2. Being able to swizzle in the middle of FW would be a bug. You may not change from FW colors while under their employment.
3. If you have negative reputation with the Free Worlds, you should fail the corresponding mission mission "FWC Checkmate Escorts". I would make that change instead.

I didn't know that. I will switch to the Escort government.

We don't write missions from the assumption that the player may have a plugin or may have edited their save file in a way that could break things. Write missions from the assumption that everything is working as intended.

That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.

This might not actually be desirable behavior from the fleet that is with you, which is limited in size until you can relink the Pug occupied systems to the rest of the galaxy. #8832 (comment)

I didn't realize FW Pug 3A was a non-attack mission
